This book highlights the characteristics, aims, and applications of microorganisms as a crucial solution for sustainable management of the toxic pollutants in ecosystem/aquatic ecosystems, soil and air. It facilitates biotechnology towards development of more sustainable biological systems by minimizing the level of harmful toxic substances and reduce the toxic effects in current chemical processes. It serves as a useful guide for a diverse community of practicing professionals, researchers, students (undergraduate and postgraduate), innovators involved in biotechnology research, and policymakers engaged in the development of strategies to deal with challenges of current environmental issues and working on bioremediation field.
